This was blatantly obvious within mere minutes of the speech ending, as the polling numbers began to flood in and the support for what he stated during that speech was incredibly well received by the vast majority of viewers.
Entering into yet another act of his Presidency, he once again changed gears and came across as a President that was not trying to divide and conquer, but one that was attempting to bring the country together.
For any rational personal, who still finds themselves in the increasingly shrinking political "center" and who has not yet become either radicalized by the far left, or far right, then this should come as good news.
A message of unity is what is needed and is one that could potentially advert one of the greatest political and economic risks that the world currently faces, shattering the echo chambers many have found themselves within.
For this, he was well rewarded, receiving positive reception from even left leaning polling outlets.
These numbers shocked many pundits across the board, as no one was expecting such results.
A staggering 97% of Republicans (many of which are "never Trumpers") and 82% of independents approved of what President Trump had to say during his speech.
This comes as a massive blow to the Democratic Party, as the Optics of this speech were horrible and the 2020 campaign ads literally wrote themselves.
At one point, President Trump had large swathes of the Democratic Party on their feet cheering and chanting USA, USA, USA, alongside the Republicans.
At this point he knew he had them and stated, "you weren't supposed to do that", grinning smugly the entire time.
Not surprisingly, Trumps approval rating jumped and now stands at 49% , which is a strong number to be sitting at and is exactly the same number that President Obama stood at during the same day of his Presidency and of which would historical grant re-election.
What was most well received by all voters was Trumps attack on the "rise of socialism" within the United States and most notably within the Democratic Party, which been increasingly startlingly even those within their own party who deem themselves "center left".
This is good news, as it proves that those wishing to end the free markets and capitalism are still within the minority.
Unfortunately for President Trump however, he has once again tied himself even more closely with the recent successes of the United States economy, meaning that if there is a strong pull back, or renewal of the recession, then he is going to suffer immensely.
He has tied himself so closely with the rising stock market and the general success of the economy as a whole, that some prominent voices within the Democratic party are actively wishing for a recession to greatly his chances of re-election.
Unfortunately for the mass majority of the public, I believe they may just get what they are hoping for, as the chances of a strong recession remain high.
Geopolitical tensions are still incredibly high and US government shutdown is very likely to begin its renewal very soon. The risks of collapse are still startlingly high.
A prudent person would hope for the best and prepare for the worse, protecting themselves while they can, acquiring an insurance policy that has seen people through both the good times and the bad.
The only one that has proven itself time and time again. The acquisition of gold and silver bullion.
